The Road Away

the window's open
blowing,
the travelling wind
from afar, alight
upon the breeze
curtains shudder
shiver under scrutiny
fade to backdrop
the sky on other
sides of windows
bruised, battered
existing
an enticement to a
wandering eye
that nomad's look
through faded curtains
rustic frame
sees
only the road
only a path in the
woods
and only his
reflection
trudging alone
hands in pockets
head down
steadily further
down the road
